RUSSIAN NAVY’S OLDEST SUBMARINE TO REENTER SERVICE AFTER REPAIRS

CAMI MONDEAUX -

One of Russia’s oldest and stealthiest submarines is set to reenter service soon, after repairs are completed, with crews expecting the ship to be redeployed by the end of May.

The Russian Navy is working to complete repairs to the Alrosa this week, sending it to the Bay of Kilen for final tests to ensure there are no faults with the design before it reenters the Black Sea fleet, according to Russian officials. Crew members are also expected to complete tests before being given the green light to man the Soviet-era submarine.
